  • measuring cups & spoons
  • chopping board
  • knife
  • medium sized mixing bowl

Tips/Tricks

  • crumble will keep for about 5 days in the fridge... BUT why would you
  • you can use this recipe base for any crumble, you may just need to edit the sugar quantity for certain sweeter fruits but then again a tropical fruit crumble seems kinda weird
  • stay away from rhubarb leaves, in case you didn't know they contain high levels of oxalic acid. You would need to eat a reasonable amount for it to be harmful but lets not experiment on that one
